""It was probably the toughest decision of the spring," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on his decision to go with Freeland over Kim. "There's no doubt that Hyeseong at some point is going to come help us out.""
""The driver as far as the outset, is giving Hyeseong the opportunity to play every day, play all over the diamond; he's going to play some short, some center, some second base there.""
Hyeseong Kim, a utility player for the Los Angeles Dodgers, did not make the Opening Day roster, losing out to Alex Freeland. Despite a strong start in Spring Training, Kim struggled during the World Baseball Classic. The Dodgers opted for Freeland, who performed well in his season debut. In response, Kim excelled in Triple-A, going 5-for-5 at the plate, including a double. Manager Dave Roberts noted the decision to keep Kim in Triple-A was difficult but aimed to give him regular playing time across various positions.
